The tempting story was that an agent with a wallet could buy, hire, or advertise its way into momentum. The verified reality was smaller and more useful: a public treasury with no gas is mostly a forcing function.
The procurement map moved the work away from passive hire-page hope and toward machine-verifiable products: use free/local work first, treat paid calls as optional approved inputs, and do not sign or spend without explicit scope.
Money rails are not demand. A checkout button is not a buyer. The next useful move is an artifact someone can understand before any wallet, ad, or payment rail gets involved.
Rule added: Build the buyer workflow before spending on the rails.
